Dave Vasquez Animation

So I decided I’d give the Spline Doctors animation challenge a go. I know I still have some work to put the final polish on my “Gettin’ Out” test but this sounded like a fun opportunity (and I intend to finish Gettin’ Out right after that). I came into this late so it will be tough trying to make the April 1st deadline. But, either way it should make for a fun test and a chance to learn something new.

I decided to do something a little different. Instead of having a character doing a performance to Christian Bale’s rant, I thought it might be interesting to focus on the person getting yelled at. In reality it was the Director of Photography, but for my test I decided to make the guy a grip.

This is just a simple (and very rough) pencil test done in Flash…I actually prefer to use Flipbook but my version only holds 300 frames and this clip came in at almost 20 seconds. So even though the drawings are nothing to write home about, I think it at least gives me a good idea of what I want the test to be. See what you think…feedback is always welcome.
